Students offered counselling after Nambrok crash

Psychologists have been called in to provide counselling for students and staff at Sale College, after the death of a classmate in a road crash yesterday.

Shannon Waters, 14, was killed when she was hit by a car on the Sale-Cowwar road at Nambrok about 4:00pm AEST.

She was getting off her school bus outside her home when she was hit by a passing car.

Her 16-year-old brother and students on the Heyfield-bound bus witnessed the crash.

Sale College principal Craig Felstead says the trauma has devastated the school community.

"We're briefing staff this morning, so we'll play it by ear in terms of the impact, obviously classmates and the small group of students that were on the bus are a priority and then it's a matter of managing and observing the rest of the school," he said.
